Maternal-Fetal Medicine Fellowship

The Maternal-Fetal Medicine Fellowship program at UTHSC is the only fellowship program
within the state of Tennessee. The overall goal of the program is to develop clinician-scientists
who are prepared to conduct research, teach and provide high-quality sub-specialty
care. Our three-year program is based within the College of Medicine's Department
of Obstetrics and Gynecology, serving Regional One Health, Le Bonheur Fetal Center,
and the Center for High-Risk Pregnancies at Baptist Women's Hospital, all located
within the tri-state area of Tennessee, Arkansas and Mississippi.

Unique Opportunities

The Memphis tri-state area provides unique opportunities for fellows. Our program
offers a wide-range of experiences due to the nature of our patient population, faculty,
and services provided. We have a high frequency of maternal medical complications
of pregnancy in this region of the country. These women are managed by the MFM attending
on our maternal special care unit within labor and delivery. When patients require
ventilatory support during their pregnancy, they are transferred to the intensive
care unit and are co-managed with other sub-specialists. Fellows will acquire breadth
and depth in their clinical experiences for the management of these complicated pregnancies.
